That might work with ragdoll effects... it would take a LOT of tweaking, though. But yeah, I can see how it could work out nicely.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Any word on whether or not there will be a live feed or some sort of continuously updated page for the event on Thursday?

Well, some games simply can't be on the Wii in their current forms, can they? That calls for the developer to think of a new way to play the same game, yet they simply throw their hands up and fall back on the Gamecube controller.

Brawl and certain other games, I can understand since the nunchuck and wiimote wouldn't be able to provide as good a control interface as the gamecube controller.

After incredible anticipation, all the key details relating to Nintendo's Wii and its Australian debut will finally be revealed this week, and relayed to the rest of the country via national television.

Seven News in Melbourne has filmed for a forthcoming news story today, relating to Nintendo's new generation home console, Wii. The exclusive report will go to air on Friday and will contain those elusive details, Seven has confirmed.
bog.

Making the six o'clock news, that sure is a fancy way to announce the local launch details. Nintendo Australia's probably blown their whole thirty cent marketing budget already with this!

The news is certainly a great way to tap into the currently untapped 90% of the possible market. If they're trying to market the Wii to people besides us gamers, that's a good place to start.

It feels like Nintendo definately has something up their sleeve. With buzz about launch date and production numbers I think the Wii's gonna launch sooner than later. I think it'll hit stores in October in the US

You can't expect every game idea to work perfectly with the controller. It doesn't automatically work for every type of game, so for some the option to use the Gamecube controller is very welcome. I think it would honestly suck if every company started changing their games so that they could exploit the controller to it's fullest instead of focusing on making the game first. The hardware should compliment the games, not the other way around.

Uhh, yeah, any kind of game COULD work on the controller. They just might suck on it. Hence the reason for the option to use a Gamecube controller for certain games.

I was pretty much relieved when it became known the gamecube controllers would work with the Wii. Think of all the embarrasing situations this will prevent with someone walking in on you while crouching behind the sofa and doing midair diverolls shouting B-BAM, B-BAM-B-BAM! TAKE THAT EVIL SPACE PIRATE MONKEY...MKAY! Like that dude in the promo video.

I can just see myself playing Twilight Princess holding the nunchuck up and 'drawing the bow' while aiming at the television screen, BAM! Both my parents standing in the doorway shaking their heads.

My parents already grill me all the time, "how old are you again" when they see me playing games like KH2. I swear they'd be making phone calls to have me checked in if they ever saw me with the Wiimote.

"Son, it's for the best..."

You're staring at me like I just asked you what the fucking square root of something.

Oh but oh, my stupid late classes have to be on that day!!!

Funny, wasn't it Seven's Today Tonight that glorified the launch of the PS2 7 years ago?

But yeah, NOAus has probably killed off its budget already, what with the posters, increased tv advertising space and whatnot. I plan to secretly go on the net during my lecture tomorrow for details!!!

Japan - September 14th, 2006 (It's the 13th, though, in parts of USA):

5:00PM (Wednesday) - 11:00PM (Wednesday) PDT
10:00AM (Thursday) - 4:00PM (Thursday) Japan Time
The event begins in Japan on Thursday Sept. 14, 10:00AM to 4:00PM. In Eastern Time (EDT, United States), that's Wednesday, Sept. 13, 8:00PM - 2:00AM. For Central Time (CDT), it's 7:00PM - 1:00. And so forth.

7:00AM (Thursday) - 2:00PM (Thursday) MDT
6:00AM (Thursday) - 1:00PM (Thursday) PDT
These are when the North American events happen, showing all four time zones.

4:00AM (Friday) - 10:00AM (Friday) PDT
These are the European event times, according to the US time zones.

It would've been easier if they had just used GMT instead.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I hope people will always ask me "how old are you again?" Theres nothing wrong with being child-like. The problem is if you're being childish.

You can be intelligent, mature, grown, and still be child-like. It can be a great quality in many regards.

My family has actually shown some interest in the Wii-mote. They might tease me a little at first, but I know they'd end up trying it sooner or later themselves.

Hopefully...

It's only about 9:40AM in Japan right now. The site with the event times didn't adjust for current Daylight Savings Time. Until the clocks change again, Japan is 13 hours ahead of EDT, not 14 hours.

So, the meeting starts at 9:00PM EDT.

How ya doing, buddy?
